It is a further object of the invention to provide a bow forming devicethat is simply formed of but two rings hingedly connected together andeasily manipulated for the insertion of the scarf, neckerchief or thelike therethrough.

Other objects of the invention are to provide a bow forming devicehaving the above objects in mind which is of simple construction,inexpensive to manufacture, of pleasing appearance, light in weight,consumes little space, decorative, durable, effective and efiicient inuse.

For a better understanding of the invention, reference may be had to thefollowing detailed description taken in connection with the accompanyingdrawing, in which:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the bow tying device according to oneform of the invention,

Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of the bow tying device taken inline 2-2 of Fig. 1,

Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the device being applied to aneckerchief on a wearer, the same folded and the ends just startedtherethrough,

Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the bow tying device after the devicehas been pulled upwardly onto the neckerchief and turned to place thepull portions,

Fig. 5 is a longitudinal sectional view of the device after it has beenturned on the neckerchief and as viewed on line 55 of Fig. 4,

Fig. 6 is a perspective view of the bow tying device when the portionsof the neckerchief have been first pulled from the device to provide theloops of the bow,

Fig. 7 is a perspective view of the device with the bow fully formed,

Fig. 8 is a perspective view of the device in which the bow has beenmade in a kerchief which has been extended over the head,

Fig. 9 is a perspective view of the bow tying device when used on a sashor belt,

Referring now to the figures, 15 represents the bow forming deviceaccording to the first form of the invention which is constructed fromtwo metal or plastic internal atent 2,941,213 Patented June 21, 1960 g.2 K r.

illustrated in Figs. 3 and 5. A neckerchief 24 is placed about the neckand over the shoulders of the wearer as shown in Fig. 3 and two corners25 and 26 are drawn together so that the device 15 having its ringportions hinged over one another with hinge 20 to the front and theopenings 21 and 22 aligned, the device is started thereover. The nextstep is to pull the ends through the device 15 and elevate the device toa desired location that tightens the neckerchief about the neck. When inthis location as shown in Fig. 4 the device is turned so that the outersides of the ringface the front and the hinge is in the rear. In doingthis two pull portions 25 and 26' present themselves. These portions aregrasped by the two hands of the wearer and pulled outwardly together inthe manner illustrated in Fig. 6 and can finally be opened to finallyprovide a full bow as shown in Fig. 7. The device will be used in thesame manner to form a bow tight about the neck and under the chin asbest shown in Fig. 8 to hold the kerchief tight over the head.

In Fig. 9 a sash or belt 27 is provided with a bow, in the same manner,the belt being drawn upon pulling the device onto ends 28 and 29 thereofand the bow formed by drawing outwardly pull portions 28 and 29 in themanner as above described.

In Figs. 10 and 11 there is shown a device formed of plastic asindicated generally at 30. This device 30 has two ring portions 31 and32 that is joined together by a weakened hinge portion 33 that allowsthe rings to be folded upon one another for the purpose of permittingthe ends 25 and 26 of a neckerchief to be easily threaded therethrough.The device will be used in the same manner after being drawn upwardlyover the apparel to pro vide the pull portions 25' and 26'. The plasticdevice can be formed of semi-rigid plastic and made of any desired colorand size.

It will be apparent that there has been provided a bow tying devicewhich is easy to construct and apply to a neckerchief, scarf, or thelike apparel, and from which a bow can be quickly made.

It should also be apparent that there has been provided a novel methodof providing a bow assembly.

While various changes may be made in the detail construction of thisdevice, it shall be understood that such changes shall be within thespirit and scope of the present invention as defined by the appendedclaim.

What is claimed is:

In combination, a cloth piece having free ends, two rings hingedtogether at their sides and being movable to overlie one another andseparable to lie in a common plane, the free ends of the cloth piecebeing received through the two rings when said rings are overlying oneanother and loops drawn from the cloth piece when the rings areseparated to lie in a common plane, whereby a simulated how will beformed.
